The Budapest Stock Exchange (BÉT) hosts the BÉT Best of Awards annually, recognizing the most outstanding performances in the Hungarian capital market. The awards are decided by a professional jury composed of members of the Exchange Advisory Board. Last year, Shopper Park Plus was honored with the “Largest New Equity Listing of the Year” award in the Premium category.
Last night Shopper Park Plus received the “Private Capital Increase of the Year” award. The award ceremony took place at the Hungarian National Bank’s Budai Conference Center, following keynote speeches from György Matolcsy, President of the Hungarian National Bank (MNB), and Barnabás Virág, Chairman of the Budapest Stock Exchange (BÉT).
The award was accepted by Kristóf Bárány, Chairman of the Board; Gellért Gaál, Investment Relations Manager and Dénes Korsós, Chief Operating Officer of Shopper Park Plus; along with Dr. Viktória Hümpfner and Dr. Szabolcs Séllyei from Hümpfner & Associates.
The success of Shopper Park Plus’s private share issuance, which resulted in a 2.67x oversubscription, was primarily due to the support of its investors, the transaction’s distributor, Concorde Értékpapír Zrt., and the contribution of Hümpfner & Associates.
As Mr. Bárány said: We are very proud that in 2024, despite the challenges of the regional and global economic environment, we were able to continue our growth and secure a significant position in the Slovak retail park market. We would like to thank our investors, our distributor Concorde Értékpapír Zrt., and our financing bank, UniCredit Bank, for their trust in this volatile economic climate. I would also like to express my gratitude to our advisors, especially Hümpfner & Associates for their legal support during the private placement, and Deloitte Zrt. for their tax and structuring expertise.
Furthermore, I sincerely thank my colleagues, who worked under significant time pressure to successfully complete the private capital raising within 2024. We trust that this transaction will further enhance the value and performance of Shopper Park Plus Nyrt. in both the short and long term.
